In a nutshell
A Slice of my Life is my take on two teenagers, one husband and a whole slew of critters. Life around here is never boring!
Shaun (also referred to as my Beloved): Computer Nerd, WoW Geek and all around Nice Guy. (although sometimes I have to wonder if he's really just a 12 year old boy trapped in a 40 something year old man's body)
Kt-The Teenager: Our oldest daughter, college student, vegan, volunteer, high achiever with a goofy side.
Mimi-The Feisty Redhead: Still our baby girl, high school junior, Drama Queen, artistic and culinary inclined.
And then there’s me, Susan The one who adores them all! I hope you enjoy all the antics that go on in our little slice of the web.
That’s So Yesterday

Not So Foolish April
This morning the dogs woke me up. They were whining to go outside much earlier than I wanted to get up. (Granted, one could hardly fault the dogs, as it was a few hours later than I usually am up, … Continue reading

The Big Five-Oh
When Shaun turned thirty, we threw a surprise party for him. It was such fun to sneak around, gathering his friends and co-workers in order to celebrate him. Shaun enjoyed himself, but hated that we all made such a fuss … Continue reading

The Mixed Up Days of March
I like to think of March as the Friday of the seasons. All the mundane grey of winter is nearly over and everyone is looking forward to the weekend…er…spring and summer. Yesterday I smiled as I checked on the progress … Continue reading

The Visionary
A couple months ago, I got my eyes examined by a new optometrist. I was pleasantly surprised to find a doctor that listened to everything I had to say about my eyesight. He asked all right questions and gave me … Continue reading

Pancakes
When I peeked into Facebook last night, I was rather baffled to find that nearly everyone was talking about pancakes for dinner. Huh? Pancakes? Sure, we like to have breakfast-for-dinner as much as the next family, but why on earth … Continue reading

Finding The Words
I realize that it is well past January first, the day that we have all decided is the perfect day to announce our resolutions and goals for the coming year. I’ve never really been one to follow all the rules … Continue reading
